Great atmosphere, staff and the wine and food were wonderful for Valentines Day. Unfortunately one batch of the 3 oysters had both of us with upset stomachs the next day🤔 Shell fish can be risky, but overall a great experience.. will definitely recommend it and will return

I'm giving it 3 stars only because of the staff & atmosphere. The food was bland. The appetizer fritters all tasted the same because there's no flavor. The tarter sauce needed salt. I ordered the 2lb steamed lobster. It smelled fishy & again flavorless. The side of coleslaw was ok though. I only needed to add alittle salt & pepper. I would come back but would definitely try something else.

This place is wonderful! We enjoyed the Seafood platter along with the Spiny Lobster Tail!! The grilled Octopus appetizer was mind blowing good! Everything was so fresh and delicious! Our server Tara was the best!! She explained our choices well. We will definitely be returning soon!
